Lodge And Gateway At Entrance To Manor House

The lodge and gateway at the entrance to the Manor House were built between 1859 and 1860 by E.F. Law. Constructed from squared coursed ironstone, the building features a tiled roof and a stone stack, showcasing a Scottish Baronial style. The lodge is situated to the right and is two storeys high with two bays. To the left, there is a round turret topped with a conical roof, which has a one-light window in a stone frame on both floors. The gabled bay on the right includes a two-light stone mullioned window on each floor. The entrance on the left side features a gabled stone porch and a doorway with a four-centred arch and a four-panel door. The interior has not been inspected. The gateway to the left consists of a segmental stone arch with stone coping. The raised centerpiece displays a stone plaque with the shields of arms of Edward Sempill and his wife Baroness Maria Jane, along with the date 1860. A rope moulding encircles the plaque and the ends of the archway are finished with boldly carved knots.
